CODE OF ETHICSOF THETOKEN AND MEDAL SOCIETY

Membership in the Token and Medal Society is a privilege extended to those who subscribe to the purposes of the Society and who meet the other prerequisites of membership.

The Code of Ethics has been duly adopted by the Board of Governors of the Society to serve as a standard of conduct to which members should aspire. A breach of ethics by any member reflects, directly or indirectly, upon other members, the Society and upon the sincerity of our purpose. Such a breach is therefore prejudicial to the welfare of the Token and Medal Society and may be cause for disciplinary action by the Board of Governors.

Membership in the Token and Medal Society carries with it the commitment:

1. To support and be governed by the By-laws of the Token and Medal Society and such amendments, resolutions and policies as may be established.

2. To abide by all federal, state and local laws relating to numismatics and to tokens and medals in particular.

3. To conduct oneself so as to bring no reproach or discredit to the Token and Medal Society or to impair the prestige of the membership therein, or the collecting of tokens and medals.

4. To abstain from buying or selling tokens, medals, or other numismatic and hobby material of which the ownership is questionable, and to report promptly to the proper law enforcement agencies information on suspected stolen material.

5. To promote the education of collectors and students of tokens and medals and a fraternal relationship among them.

6. To conduct transactions in tokens and medals fairly, with integrity that is responsive to legal requirements and to the highest ethical standards.
